Before I made the 1984 Rattler review, I made this video. I thought I was well prepared to assemble a toy from the 1980's but I was WRONG. Everything that could go wrong did, including the vintage stickers that wouldn't stay on. That's why the actual review video took so long to do: I had to wait TWO WEEKS for Cobrastickers.com to send me their repro labels!

  • how did you get the stickers to stay on, i have a whale and the stickers are starting to dry out and i would like to apply them if they will stay on, any suggestions?

  • @sgf129 I cheated! The stickers I used in the later review are reproductions made by Cobrastickers. However, if you want to use the original stickers, you could use any clear-drying glue (like UHU All Purpose).

  • So its a toy and kind of a model kit? Shit i need to pick up some vintage GI joe too ;)

  • @cliffthelightning  Every vintage vehicle needed either some assembly (no tools necessary) or sticker application. It's how Hasbro kept the costs down.

  • Wow! So glad I didn't have to go through all that with my 25th anniversary Rattler that just came in the mail.

  • @formbx257 thank you, i will def try that

  • Your gonna need a cobra rattler if your gonna fight GI JOE,and your gonna need a GI JOE hovercraft if your fighting the Cobra foe,GI JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! GO JOE

  • I remember almost breaking this thing when I was building it. I liked realism in toys. The more realistic, the better. I never liked how the engines on the wings were firing exhaust right into the tail, which would probably melt the tail in real life. It was patterened after the A-10. I wish they would have stayed closer to the A-10 design.

  • @cliffthelightning IF you are wanting to find a loose one, they are all over ebay and pretty cheap. If you want one still in a sealed box, be prepared to hunt and SPEND.

  • I'd like tp buy a Vamp ,are they rare and expensive?

    cheers ( love your vids)
